Ce résultat est obtenu par l'endoprothèse intracorporelle de This result is obtained by the intracorporeal endoprosthesis of
l'invention.the invention.
Conformément à l'invention, l'endoprothèse intracorporelle In accordance with the invention, the intracorporeal endoprosthesis
est constituée par une succession de fourreaux cylindriques formant des segments longs et des segments courts alternés15 reliés entre eux. consists of a succession of cylindrical sleeves forming long segments and alternating short segments15 connected to each other.
Suivant une autre caractéristique importante de l'invention, un alliage à mémoire de forme est utilisé pour la réalisaton de brins constitutifs de spires successives de chaque fourreau cylindrique, les spires successives présentant des brins sensiblement parallèles, lorsque les fourreaux sont According to another important characteristic of the invention, a shape memory alloy is used for the production of strands constituting successive turns of each cylindrical sheath, the successive turns having substantially parallel strands, when the sheaths are
portés à la température du corps humain. brought to the temperature of the human body.

La fig. 6 est une élévation schématique illustrant une carac- Fig. 6 is a schematic elevation illustrating a character-
téristique supplémentaire de la prothèse. additional benefit of the prosthesis.
L'endoprothèse, objet de l'invention, est réalisée à partir de fils ou de rubans en alliage à mémoire de forme, par exemple en alliage métallique nickel/titane, qui est susceptible d'être recuit pour conserver une mémoire thermique correspondant à la forme qui lui est donnée au moment de ce recuit alors que cette forme est modifiée lorsque le fil ou le ruban est soumis à une variation de The endoprosthesis, object of the invention, is produced from wires or ribbons of shape memory alloy, for example of nickel / titanium metal alloy, which can be annealed to maintain a thermal memory corresponding to the shape given to it at the time of this annealing while this shape is modified when the wire or the ribbon is subjected to a variation of
température, notamment à un refroidissement. temperature, especially at cooling.
On fait en sorte que l'alliage soit mis en forme pour demeurer stable à une température de l'ordre de celle du We make sure that the alloy is shaped to remain stable at a temperature of the order of that of
corps humain.human body.
Selon l'invention, le fil ou le ruban est plié pour délimiter des spires successives 1, 2... R présentant chacune la forme d'une boucle dont les brins 3, 4 sont sensiblement According to the invention, the wire or the ribbon is folded to delimit successive turns 1, 2 ... R each having the shape of a loop whose strands 3, 4 are substantially
parallèles et reliés entre eux par une partie courbe 5. parallel and interconnected by a curved part 5.
On réalise successivement des segments distincts 6 et 7 dits dans ce qui suit segments longs pour ceux désignés par 6, et Separate segments 6 and 7 are said to be produced in the following, long segments for those designated by 6, and
segments courts pour ceux désignés par 7. short segments for those designated by 7.
Les spires 1, 2... n d'un segment, par exemple d'un segment long 6, sont reliées aux spires d'un segment court 7 par tissage, comme illustré à la fig. 2, ou par un lien 8 comme illustré par la fig. 3. Le lien 8 est, par exemple réalisé par un fil de suture chirurgical non résorbable ou par une agrafe en même matière que celle des fils ou des rubans constitutifs des spires successives de chaque segment. Les segments longs 6 et les segments courts 7 sont mis en forme pour réaliser des fourreaux cylindriques dont les brins sont sensiblement alignés lorsque leurs parties courbes 5 sont The turns 1, 2 ... n of a segment, for example of a long segment 6, are connected to the turns of a short segment 7 by weaving, as illustrated in FIG. 2, or by a link 8 as illustrated in FIG. 3. The link 8 is, for example produced by a non-absorbable surgical suture thread or by a staple made of the same material as that of the threads or ribbons constituting the successive turns of each segment. The long segments 6 and the short segments 7 are shaped to produce cylindrical sleeves whose strands are substantially aligned when their curved parts 5 are
réunies par tissage ou au moyen du lien 8. joined together by weaving or by means of the link 8.
Bien qu'un fil de section ronde soit utilisable pour la fabrication de l'endoprothèse de l'invention, il est préféré d'utiliser un ruban de segment rectangulaire comme illustré par la fig. 4 qui montre deux brins 3a, 4a d'un ruban de section rectangulaire dont les petits côtés se font face tandis que la fig. 5 montre un ruban, également de section rectangulaire, mais dont les brins 3b, 4b se font face par un Although a round section wire can be used for the manufacture of the endoprosthesis of the invention, it is preferred to use a rectangular segment ribbon as illustrated in FIG. 4 which shows two strands 3a, 4a of a ribbon of rectangular section whose short sides face each other while FIG. 5 shows a ribbon, also of rectangular section, but the strands 3b, 4b of which face each other by a
de leurs grands côtés.from their big sides.
Outre ce qui précède et ainsi que l'illustre la fig. 1, il In addition to the above and as illustrated in FIG. 1 he
est avantageux selon l'invention que deux fourreaux cylin- It is advantageous according to the invention that two cylindrical sleeves
driques réalisés par des segments longs 6 soient séparés par un ou deux fourreaux cylindriques réalisés à partir des segments courts 7 et qu'un ou deux segments cylindriques réalisés par des segments courts prolongent les fourreaux bricks made by long segments 6 are separated by one or two cylindrical sleeves made from short segments 7 and that one or two cylindrical segments made by short segments extend the sleeves
réalisés par les segments longs 6. made by long segments 6.
L'utilisation de fourreaux réalisés à partir de segments courts a pour effet de raidir la prothèse à ses extrémités et à sa partie médiane, ce qui facilite sa tenue et son maintien The use of sheaths made from short segments has the effect of stiffening the prosthesis at its ends and at its middle part, which facilitates its holding and its maintenance.
en place dans un canal corporel, par exemple dans une artère. in place in a body canal, for example in an artery.
Une prothèse très courte peut, selon l'invention, comporter seulement un fourreau long et deux fourreaux courts à ses extrémités. Au contraire, une prothèse longue peut comporter des séries successives de fourreaux longs et de fourreaux courts. Par exemple, une prothèse devant mesurer 6 cm de long comporte avantageusement deux fourreaux longs reliés directement entre eux et deux fourreaux courts de part et A very short prosthesis can, according to the invention, comprise only one long sheath and two short sheaths at its ends. On the contrary, a long prosthesis can comprise successive series of long sleeves and short sleeves. For example, a prosthesis having to measure 6 cm long advantageously comprises two long sleeves connected directly to each other and two short sleeves on the
d'autre desdits deux fourreaux longs. on the other of said two long sleeves.
De nombreuses autres combinaisons peuvent être réalisées selon la longueur que doit présenter la prothèse et également selon le diamètre efficace qu'elle doit maintenir à Many other combinations can be made according to the length which the prosthesis must have and also according to the effective diameter which it must maintain at
l'intérieur du canal corporel.inside the body canal.
La disposition que doit présenter la prothèse selon laquelle des fourreaux longs et des fourreaux courts sont utilisés permet de l'adapter à la pathologie à traiter. En particulier, il est avantageux d'utiliser des fourreaux courts au niveau d'une sténose à traiter alors que des fourreaux longs sont plus appropriés dans des artères The arrangement which the prosthesis must present according to which long sleeves and short sleeves are used makes it possible to adapt it to the pathology to be treated. In particular, it is advantageous to use short sheaths at the level of a stenosis to be treated while long sheaths are more suitable in arteries
présentant une paroi faible.with a weak wall.
Dans certains cas et supplémentairement, la prothèse est mise en place dans un manchon 9 illustré à la fig. 6, ce manchon poreux ou non étant évidemment en matière biocompatible et In some cases and additionally, the prosthesis is placed in a sleeve 9 illustrated in FIG. 6, this porous or non-porous sleeve obviously being made of biocompatible material and
étant destiné à des artères présentant un anévrisme. being intended for arteries presenting an aneurysm.
Lorsqu'un manchon 9 est prévu, les extrémités constituées par des fourreaux courts permettent d'assurer un maintien convenable de la prothèse de part et d'autre de la zone faible de l'artère. Une partie ou la totalité d'un ou des deux fourreaux cylindriques courts peut dépasser du manchon 9 pour développer une force radiale importante en permettant When a sleeve 9 is provided, the ends constituted by short sheaths make it possible to ensure proper maintenance of the prosthesis on either side of the weak zone of the artery. Part or all of one or two short cylindrical sleeves can protrude from the sleeve 9 to develop a large radial force by allowing
ainsi d'assurer le maintien en place de la prothèse. thus ensuring that the prosthesis is held in place.
Pour la réalisation du manchon 9, il est possible d'utiliser une matière autre qu'un métal, par exemple il est possible For the production of the sleeve 9, it is possible to use a material other than a metal, for example it is possible
d'utiliser un polymère (silicone, gélatine. etc). to use a polymer (silicone, gelatin, etc.).
L'invention n'est pas limitées aux exemples de réalisation, représentés et décrits en détail, car diverses modifications The invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments, shown and described in detail, because various modifications
peuvent y être apportées sans sortir de son cadre. can be made without departing from its scope.
